The Marauders Saga: part two
"The Chamber of Secrets" Disclaimer: I wonder if J.K. Rowling would sell me the rights to Remus Lupin. Hey, I can dream, can't I?
Chapter 3:
That night, James left the common room, deserting Remus and Sirius. There was still no sign of Peter. They hadn't seen him since lunch.
James walked down to the dungeons and upon entering, scowled at Snape, who was sitting on the other side of the room. James sat a good distance away from him but it was no use. Snape got up and walked to sit closer to him.
"All right, Snivellus, what is it you want?"
"Oh nothing, I was just wondering if you would... IMPERIO!" he suddenly screamed the incantation with his wand pointed at James.
James went stark still and looked as though he were waiting for Snape's command. "Excellent." Snape muttered. "I want you to go down to the Chamber of Secrets, and sic the basilisk inside on your friend, Remus Lupin."
"Yes master." James replied in a flat tone, unlike his normal voice.
"But, you must weaken him first, mind you. Why don't you use an unforgivable curse?" he leaned closer to James. "You know? The one that begins with a 'C'."
"Yes master."
Back in the common room, Sirius and Remus were playing a game of wizard chess. Sirius was beating Remus terribly. So, he was glad when James entered and asked, "Would you like to take a stroll with me, Remus?"
"Sure, why not. It's better than getting beaten by Sirius."
"Yea," began Sirius. "I've had enough. Winning against Lupin isn't so fun. He makes you feel guilty by whimpering each time you take one of his pieces."
"No," James almost yelled. "Just me and Remus."
"Well, fine, if you don't want me to." Sirius almost whispered, looking thoroughly hurt.
Lupin and James walked silently down to the abandoned girls bathroom. James said some incoherent babble that sounded like a snake in the direction of one of the sinks. It opened and James grabbed Remus' wrist and dragged him down the chute. James landed gracefully at the bottom, whereas Lupin landed with a thump on his backside.
"What are you taking me here for, James?"
"It's a surprise, we have to go a bit further."
Lupin followed in silence until they came to a large open space. At the back end, there was a large stone snake's head mounted on top of a stonewall.
"All right, I've been obliging up until now, what is this place? What's going on?" Lupin demanded.
James turned towards Lupin, and he was holding his wand. "Lupin, I am working for Snape. Here is where you will meet your end, you filthy mudblood!"
Lupin's eyes barely had time to widen before James yelled, "CRUCIO!"
Lupin did not scream like most do when taken over by the curse. He merely curled up into a ball, cringing from the pain coursing through his veins. He groaned as the pain increased. He knew he was going to die.
